On June 6, 2007 the court<br \/>\n  gave Shamshian a suspended sentence for 2.5 years of imprisonment. The court<br \/>\n  sentence was made by Part 2 of Article 178 (&ldquo;Cheating&rdquo;) and by Part 1 of Article<br \/>\n  179 (&ldquo;Appropriation or Embezzlement&rdquo;) of RA Criminal Code. The plaintiff demanded<br \/>\n  to annul the ruling and to acquit him fully. On its behalf, the Prosecutor&rsquo;s<br \/>\n  Office of Erebuni and Nubarashen communities also challenged the sentence of<br \/>\n  the court of primary jurisdiction, demanding to make the punishment more severe<br \/>\n  and to sentence Gagik Shamshian to 4 years of imprisonment. <\/p>\n<p>As it has been reported, the criminal proceedings on the case of Gagik Shamshian<br \/>\n  were instituted on August 3, 2006 by the Erebuni Investigative Department of<br \/>\n  the Chief Investigative Division of the RA Police, basing on a number of appeals<br \/>\n  from citizens. On his behalf, the journalist did not plead guilty on any of<br \/>\n  the five episodes, qualifying what has happened as a persecution for his professional<br \/>\n  activities, waged by the Head of Nubarashen community of Yerevan Mher Hovhannisian<br \/>\n  and his associates. The conflict with them started due to the article, published<br \/>\n  in &ldquo;Chorrord Ishkhanutiun&rdquo; newspaper on July 11, 2006 (the publication told,<br \/>\n  in particular, about two relatives of Nubarashen community Head, charged with<br \/>\n  robbery at one of Yerevan banks). The next day Shamshian was assaulted. The<br \/>\n  Prosecutor&#8217;s Office of Erebuni and Nubarashen communities instituted criminal<br \/>\n  proceedings by Article 164 (&ldquo;Impeding the legitimate professional activities<br \/>\n  of a journalist&rdquo;), Part 1 of Article 176 (&ldquo;Robbery&rdquo;) and Part 3 of Article 258<br \/>\n  (&ldquo;Public Disorder&rdquo;) of the RA Criminal Code. However, on November 10, 2006 the<br \/>\n  investigation of the case was stopped due to the lack of &ldquo;sufficient evidence<br \/>\n  proving corpus delicti in the actions of the suspects&rdquo;. Thus, Gagik Shamshian<br \/>\n  became a participant of two criminal cases at the same time: on the case, where<br \/>\n  he was a victim, nobody was punished; on the other case, the journalist became<br \/>\n  the convict (see details in YPC Weekly Newsletter, <a href=\"?go=newsletter\/2007\/june_eng\/1_7\">June<br \/>\n  1-7, 2007<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p>At the session of July 16 the Court of Appeal secured the claim of the journalist<br \/>\n  partially, only reducing the suspended sentence to one year. As Gagik Shamshian<br \/>\n  told YPC, he intends challenging this ruling at RA Court of Cassation. <\/p>\n<p>\n  <em><strong>N.B.
